I can never say no to a bold hue! Color is the quickest way to instantly transform your look and the best mid-week pick me up. Keep the rest of your look understated with neutrals or a versatile print. How cute are these scallop-trim Avery pans? I love the straight fit with the feminine scallop-trim. Pair with an off-the-shoulder top, statement necklace, and for the perfect date-night look.

Who doesn’t love floral for summer? The modern tailored Ryan fit in a neutral black-and-white combo offers a more sophisticated take on the print of the season. The sateen fabric elevates the pants to dress up any look. If color isn’t your thing, bringing this versatile print into your wardrobe rotation is an easy middle ground. Also OBSESSED with this denim cold shoulder top (under $100).

Linen is my wardrobe staple for spring and summer. It’s lightweight and breathable but still office-appropriate so your pieces will do double duty for work and weekend. I love this striped cropped Logan pant. It’s the perfect balance of menswear-inspiration with a flattering feminine fit. I paired them with the linen apron top for an effortlessly elegant look. And these shoes!!! 😍 Add a pretty pink sandal and a statement bag for a date-night ready look.

Whenever I’m looking for pieces that are versatile enough to work for multiple occasions, it’s all about structure and comfort. You need something that can hold up after a busy day and still look just as fresh and polished as it did when you first put it on. I’m obsessed with the stretch fabrication of this polka dot Sloan pant. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day, but remain sleek, structured, and wrinkle-free.

Also how good is this denim jacket – it’s the perfect wash! I love how the relaxed fit adds a casual vibe to your outfit. It’s an easy layer to transition from the office to meeting your S/O or friends for lunch or dinner and drinks after work.

When you start with great, quality staples, you can mix and match for an endless number of outfits perfect for any occasion. Below are a few more great essentials from Banana Republic.

LOVE these outfits and I’m a huge fan of BR especially for work clothes. I’m wondering though, are you able to wear the pants without having them tailored? You appear smaller than me and I have found in the last year especially that the very smallest size is still too large for me to wear. Super disappointing!

Hi Mary! Glad you loved the looks 🙂 You are not alone, I definitely had to get the pants tailored a bit too! I honestly like getting a lot of things tailored though because it is more fit and structured for my individual body.

You have picked such an amazing selection of trousers here and styled them so well that they are great all day looks no matter what you do! I think that the striped ones are the coolest and those red ones with the scalloped hem!

I was kind of giving up on BR, but I had no idea they had such cute pieces. For some reason I never see them in store. Thank you so much for bringing it to those who usually has to shop in the rush 😁❤️ The last look is my favorite (that hat!!!). The video is so inspiring!!! You prove that “happy wife – happy life” actually works 😀

You look cute and the “floating” picture is really cool. But I really wish you hadn’t released all those balloons at the end of your video. Several states have laws prohibiting the release of balloons. The thing is, balloons that go up, definitely come down. The latex is not biodegradable and the strings ensnare wildlife. It’s sort of like throwing trash out your car window. I know you probably want to keep your comment board positive, so feel free to moderate this one. I just thought I would “say” something in case no one else did.
